It was hardly just an internal matter. The whole point of the law was the Belgian government was making everyone elses internal matters their matter so it is a bit disengenious to try to play that card now.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate. -
Well that was exactly one of the reasons I didn't like the genocide law. So just as I think Belgium shouldn't meddle with other countries' internal affairs, so I think Belgium's internal affairs shouldn't be meddled with, even if it is to make sure Belgium can no longer meddle in someone else's internal affairs.The whole point of the law was the Belgian government was making everyone elses internal matters their matterComment

why did they become neutral in 1936? And why did they dicide to stop their protection because of neutrality?Originally posted by August Borms
It was continued (though maybe not completely because Belgium became neutral in 1936, plus they skipped the Ardennes because it was thought of as a "natural fortress"
)

why did they become neutral in 1936?
IIRC it some something to do with our king being German.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Also because France and Great Britain seemed unwilling or unable to form a front against Germany.IIRC it some something to do with our king being German.Comment

I think I might have the British edition as well. Where does said tirade appear in the third book?Originally posted by St Leo
Are you American, Lorizael? I am pretty sure that the Belgium tirade only appears in the American edition of the third book. I, personally, have the British edition which lacks it.

I thought Belgium was neutral from the end of Napoleonic wars on. Did they cease being neutral after end of WWI and then reclaim neutrality in 1936?Originally posted by August Borms

Au contraire. There is a little thing called universal jurisdiction for genocide and a couple other things.Originally posted by Oerdin

The only area where Belgium claimed jurisdiction in contradiction to international law concerned functional immunity.
The remaining problem, as far as I understand it, is based on prosecution a) not requiring residence or presence and b) being possible to be, although indirectly through a lawsuit, initiated by private parties.
Is there an expert in Belgian penal law here to discuss the issue on the facts rather than some silly huffpuff jingoistic drivel?
Oh well, I thought so....“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment
